CIAA lining

This is in response to the news report “Corruption rife in local bodies: CIAA chief” (THT, 25 Dec. Page 6). Corruption has been the people’s concern these days. It is known to everybody that the corruption in Nepal has been deep rooted and institutionalized over the last one and half decades that has made Nepal as one of the most corrupt nation in the world. Nepal will continue to be listed likewise unless and until massive efforts are made to curb the ongoing rampant corruption that has plagued the country.

The political parties, which had led the government in the past, were unable to make any political appointments to key constitutional bodies including Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) because of their political interests. That had made the CIAA ineffective in efficiently carrying out its mandated jobs. Soon after the controversial appointment of Lokman Singh Karki as its Chief a few months ago, the CIAA has started playing constructive role raising people’s hope to see the corrupts and criminals being put behind bars. However, they still need to be more effective in order to meet the people’s expectation.

Unless strong political commitments to stamp out the irregularities and corruptions are made by the political parties, CIAA itself will not able to achieve its intended objectives. However, the recent acts of CIAA under Karki have shaken the corrupt people around the country. As Karki’s concern, the people’s tax paid money has been overly misused at the local level in the name of development budgets. It is hoped that the major political parties as promised in their political manifestos will come together to hold the election to the local bodies in near future. There is still long way to go to rooting out the institutionalized corruptions that is rampant in every layer of the Nepali society.
